A global directory file and a database file are two very different things. Just as given a person's name, a phone directory helps you find the phone number for that person, a global directory, given an M global variable, helps the GT.M process find the database file for that global variable. The name space of M global variables can be spread over many database files, and the global directory file specifies this mapping.
Since you appear to be running VistA on GT.M, and since GT.M requires $gtmgbldir to be set correctly, please tell me how you normally set up the environment before entering GT.M. Also, once you are inside GT.M, at the GTM> prompt, Write the value of $ZGBLDIR and tell me. -- Bhaskar On Thu, 2005-02-17 at 23:08 -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > The specified folder has a mumps.dat file.
